Liberty Charge has announced a zero-cost installation charge point solution for the healthcare sector.

The company launched as a charge point operator in 2021, dedicating its services to supporting local authorities in providing publicly-accessible EV charging to residents without access to at-home charging.

And, with numerous local authority contracts already in place across London and the wider UK, the business is now rolling out its service to a wider audience.

Its end-to-end solution will support the healthcare sector, from identifying which charging speeds are required to best serve the needs of visitors, employees, and stakeholders, to installation and ongoing maintenance. 

Across the board, there is a need to reduce CO2 emissions, and so a key part of our service is helping healthcare organisations to convince stakeholders of the environmental importance in helping visitors and employees travel sustainably

Neil Isaacson, Liberty Charge chief executive, said: “Our experience of the public sector has shown the importance of an end-to-end, ‘one-stop-shop’ offering.

“We recognise that healthcare organisations, like local authorities, need support and expertise to ensure their offering provides convenience – without causing unnecessary hassle for those responsible for facilities and car parks.”

Backed by parent companies, Liberty Global and Zouk Capital, and utilising its sister company and delivery partner, Virgin Media O2, Liberty Charge has the scale and capability to create the infrastructure at the pace healthcare organisations need.

Isaacson said: “The sector needs to ensure its EV charging not only attracts visitors through convenience and reliability, but that it also supports the bottom line.

“As a fully-funded, zero-cost service that helps businesses maximise their car park revenues – while ensuring competitive charging rates – we are ideally placed to deliver their needs.”

He adds: “A thorough understanding of what stakeholders are looking for is required.

“Across the board, there is a need to reduce CO2 emissions, and so a key part of our service is helping healthcare organisations to convince stakeholders of the environmental importance in helping visitors and employees travel sustainably, as well as the long-term financial benefits.”
